:D-Galactopyranose
Description:
D-Galactopyranose is a six-carbon monosaccharide, specifically an aldohexose, that is an epimer of D-glucose. It is a cyclic form of galactose, existing predominantly in the pyranose form, which features a six-membered ring structure. This sugar is characterized by its white crystalline appearance and is soluble in water, making it readily available for biological processes. D-Galactopyranose plays a crucial role in various metabolic pathways and is a component of lactose, the sugar found in milk. It is also involved in the synthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids, contributing to cell recognition and signaling. The molecule has multiple hydroxyl (-OH) groups, which contribute to its reactivity and ability to form hydrogen bonds, influencing its solubility and interaction with other biomolecules. D-Galactopyranose is important in both nutrition and biochemistry, and its derivatives are utilized in various industrial applications, including food and pharmaceuticals.
